“Having attended two Excellence in Journalism conferences, I have seen first-hand the amazing and impactful work of RTDNA. It’s truly an honor to receive the President’s Scholarship from RTDNA. My family will soon be confronting the challenge of handling two college tuitions: mine and my younger brother’s tuition. I’m beyond thrilled and humbled to receive this scholarship as it will help alleviate the financial burden soon to face my family,” Goldner said.
